As the days grow longer and the light begins to soften, spring is the perfect time to refresh your home with gentle, uplifting scents. Lighting a candle in spring feels less about cosying up and more about welcoming light, freshness, and a sense of renewal into everyday moments.
Each candle in the Weald Store collection has been handpicked by me for its craftsmanship, natural ingredients, and thoughtful scent. I tend to gravitate towards fragrances that feel calm and will enhance a room rather than overwhelm it.
Here are five of my favourite British-made spring candles and tealights, each crafted in small batches and perfectly suited to the season. From honey-scented beeswax to soft florals, citrus, and fresh green notes, these candles bring light, calm, and quiet joy into your home.

Spring Candles to Bring Light, Calm and Freshness
Spring candles help mark the shift in season — longer days, open windows, and a softer, slower rhythm to everyday life. Whether you’re refreshing your home for spring or enjoying small daily rituals, the right scented candle can quietly transform the atmosphere of a space.
All of our spring scented candles and tealights are thoughtfully made in Britain using natural ingredients and traditional methods. From the gentle sweetness of beeswax to floral, citrus, and green notes inspired by nature, these fragrances are designed to feel uplifting, balanced, and easy to live with.
Candles also make thoughtful spring gifts. Perfect for birthdays, thank-yous, or just-because. Beautiful on their own or paired with our handmade matchboxes or candle holders, they’re a simple way to share light, calm, and seasonal joy.
